Merry Christmas everyone!! 🎄 This video has nothing to do with Christmas, but I hope you enjoy this comparison of Nakasu and Tenjin!! 🍜

[@nickteslaa]

Merry Christmas! :)

There are lots of things to do in Fukuoka! Personally I recommend getting a bus 🚎 from Hakata to #Nishiku. If you get the right one you get magnificent views of the entire harbor from the overhead expressway, and it’s a lot cheaper than Yatai!

[@RiotNoobs]

I'm in fukuoka right now and this video is accurate. Thank you for the warning! Our yatai experience was improved tenfold by sticking to stalls in North nakasu and Tenjin as opposed to the busy southern strip (near the bridge night market). Stalls at southern nakasu had four times the line and folks were hardly interacting with each other.

Just what I needed on Christmas Eve while working...Thank you Sarah!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Happy holidays!

[@kansaidonki]

What a wonderful present this video is! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, very interesting. A very merry Christmas to you!

Happy holidays!

Thank you for sharing and showing such cool yatai places in Fukuoka. You must felt uncomfortable at the first yatai place as the owner pressured you leave when finishing eating. But foods look great and can feel good vibe at both places you’ve been to. Really enjoying your videos and thank you again for this episode of Fukuoka. Wishing you and everyone Merry Christmas, Sarah!

[@stenut2895]

Merry Christmas to you and yours Sarah. Good to see you posting again.

Merry Christmas Sarah!!🎄I hope you have an enjoyable holiday season with friends, family, and good food! It's been a great year for your channel, and I am looking forward to what next year brings too! 🎊

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! Happy holidays!

[@ThanisLim]

It's actually pretty common to be rushed as they have limited spaces and wanted to take in more customers. I agree that it's better to eat in a restaurant first then drop by here for quick meals (which can also be pretty pricey unfortunately). There are however good ones who are more focused on the customers

[@T.O._Steve]

Merry Christmas from Canada, Sarah! 🎄If you need more snow, we have plenty to spare today! Enjoyed all your travel vlogs this year. All the best in the new year. :)

After two trips to Fukuoka and went to both Yatai in Nakasu and Tenjin. My experience was pretty much same as you mentioned in this video.

[@meltingsnowman266]

Always nice to see you again, Sarah (and at least hearing Tokyo Foodie Mama again as well as introducing Tokyo Foodie Papa, I believe). Your 20 000+ subscribers will hopefully and probably spend their money on something else than on being stressed, yelled at and humiliated by Princes Charming, Bob and Mike. Every entrepreneur is of course entitled to his/her own idea of how to run the business, but one basic and general rule is normally to aim at satisfied and returning customers. They seem to have missed that lesson. 😅 A happy new year in advance, and I hope to see you again sometime in 2023, whenever you hear KZbin calling on you again. 😉

[@chrisodell2585]

Great video 👍

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks 👍

[@birdup6663]

I know you didn't really recommend it, but I kind of want to go to that first place now, just to get the "Here's your food, now hurry up and eat and get out" experience for myself. 😂

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh no 😅

[@rossb9984587]

The one I went to in Nakasu didn't seem that bad for hurrying me although the people next to me did get moved on in the end (in fairness they stayed for ages chatting to me about Iron Maiden after finishing theirs) It was a really cool atmosphere, and the food was pretty decent.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

🤣 It’s good to hear that you had a nice experience!

Thanks for posting. The second place was much more nicer and less pushy. Are you keeping in touch with your new friend? 👏👏

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Unfortunately not 🥲

[@juliusdelacruz7549]

Ordering in a Yatai looks daunting. Any tips for non-japanese speaking tourists on how to have a good experience eating in a a yatai?

[@hokenyu]

Sigh... I've been to Fukuoka a few times, and will visit again very soon. Not once have I eaten or drank at a yatai. They do look enjoyable, though, if you can read the menus and can chat with the yatai stallkeepers and fellow customers. I'll probably chicken out again and end up dining at izakaya joints and in the shopping centers above Hakata station

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Omg I hope you get to try out Yatai next time!! Regarding the menu, you can always use the camera function of Google translate 👍

[@dont_call_me_anthony89]

Oh my God, it's been like FOREVER since I last saw your videos! You've been missed 🌠 P.S. A small favour: Next time you head back to Nakasu, tell "Mike" that Mike said he sucks 😊

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Hahaha that’s great Mike 🤣🤣 I’ll tell “Mike” that you said he sucks 🤣

Hi guys I have made plans to experience in tenjin with a family of 4/5 we love mentaiko and was wondering if anyone can recommend any store (with/without) We are mentally prepare to not hold up the seat but I definitely don’t want parents to be hurry along .

[@OntarioAndrews415]

LOL, this was funny. That random dude was amusing. Maybe he was trying to flirt with you, but was nervous at the same time. :)

[@joshiyolo]

Still dont know where is Tenjin Food stall after watching your vlog :(

[@mikaellarsson7932]

Sorry about the less good experience in Nakasu. I have eaten there many, many times and never had this treatment, never any stress, only very friendly and funny staff. Normally one can take the time to enjoy one´s highball or beer and eat calmly. And a note to visitors, there are very clean public restrooms along the river, no worries. And a second note, Nakasu is _not_ red light district despite what many people seem to think. It is perfectly safe. There are a lot of girl´s and boy´s bars, but these are totally different from many places in Europe etc. Tenjin yatais are good too! Cheers.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh okay, thanks for letting me know. I must have been very unlucky with my choice 🥲

[@SendMoreParamedics13]

"You had your one drink and one dish, now f*ck off". 😂 I hate this type of service. Nothing worse than feeling rushed and unwelcome. How do they know you won't order multiple other drinks and dishes? Do they not want the business? So lame.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Exactly 😔

[@DreiEUS]

I'll be in Fukuoka in 3rd week of January, where is the Tenjin Yatai located?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It’s around the Tenjin station!

[@beebopphoto2839]

hello Sarah, thank you for your information about Yatai in Fukuoka. i want to ask, is there any menu in English or the owner can speak English? thnak you

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I doubt they have English menu and it’s very unlikely that the owner can speak English. But you can always utilize the camera function of google translate!

[@sboez]

Nakasu stall motto "Eat it and Beat It"

[@koostory1776]

Went there yesterday and now back to America, and my take is that you’re paying for the “street” experience from low-lifes making quick bucks. 😢

[@close_friend_of_your_mom]

Merry Christmas Sarah

Same to you!

Maybe they were thinking that you were going to leave, Who knows, if your just going to leave your dishes there right after you leave. Bob & Mike
